Recreational vehicles include travel trailers, park models, pickup coaches, and motor homes.
Density is calculated as the number of residential dwelling units per gross acre (see de nition of density , residential ). Generally, in all zoning
districts except for A , E and CON , this indicates the maximum allowable density , including any applicable density bonuses per the density rating
system in the growth management plan. Density may be restricted by the board of county commissioners at the time of rezoning to something less than
the maximum, as indicated parenthetically on the o cial zoning atlas maps. For example, "RMF-6(4)" allows all uses and development standards of the
RMF-6 zoning district but density is limited to 4 dwelling units per acre.
A maximum of 26 dwelling units per acre are allowed for hotels and motels . A hotel or motel in Port of the Islands may o er timeshare units and
retain the density of 26 units per acre. Outside of Port of the Islands, a hotel or motel or multi-family structure including a condominium which o ers
timeshare units is permitted a density of up to 16 units per acre.
For RT zoning located inside Activity Centers as designated on the Growth Management Plan's Future Land Use Map, residential units (including those
for timeshares and multifamily uses) are allowed at a maximum of 16 dwelling units per acre. Similarly for RT zoning not located within Activity
Centers but in existence at the time of adoption of the LDC (October 30, 1991), residential units are allowed at a maximum of 16 units per acre.
For RT zoning not located within Activity Centers and not in existence at the time of adoption of this LDC (October 30, 1991), allowed density is per
the density rating system up to 16 dwelling units per acre. The calculation of density shall be based on the land area de ned by a lot(s) of record.
Density for single-family and mobile home, with or without clustering.
Density for duplex , with or without clustering.
Density for multi-family , with or without clustering.
In the MH district, modular homes are allowable.
Properties zoned C-1 through C-3 may have associated residential densities in instances of mixed-use development pursuant to the Future Land
Use Element of the Growth Management Plan.
The density of 1 dwelling unit per 3 gross acres only applies to private in-holdings within the Big Cypress National Preserve that were in existence
prior to October 14, 1974.
Maximum allowable density in the BMUD and GTMUD overlays is attained through the Mixed Use Project (MUP). Approval Process pursuant to the
regulations in the Overlays.
One dwelling unit per 40 acres is the maximum density permitted in RFMU Sending Lands (see section 2.03.08).

main living unit, each lock-o accommodation shall be counted as a full timeshare unit when computing the allowable density .
Acreage associated with historical/archaeological resources preserved within the boundaries of a project shall be included in calculating
the project's permitted density .
